Chapter 228 Rage
Glaki, a huge slug-like creature occupies most of the river bed.
The spikes on its body are dense and sharp, emitting a scalp-numbing color even in the turbid river water.
People who were attracted by dreams came to it voluntarily, were pierced by thorns, and injected with highly toxic liquid.
This conversion process is very rapid.
Those normal people often just struggle in the mud at the bottom of the river for a few minutes and then calm down, becoming Glaaki's servants and powerful killing machines.
If this situation continues, it won’t take long for the entire Nanwei City to fall.
......
The only good thing is that although Investigator C's old stool mark did not drive away Glaaki, it also interrupted its dream-inducing process.
Otherwise, when most of the people in Nanwei City rush into the canal, the matter will be irreversible.
...
To be honest, Milo has never seen anything so weird and ugly in his life.
He more or less understood Eric's bewildered look and mood when he was asked about the monster's appearance. There was really no way to describe this thing in sign language.
If the price of gaining long years is to develop such a lousy character, Milo feels that it is better to be a short-lived ghost.
However, ridicule is ridicule. Although Milo could hold his breath for a while after entering the water, and his limbs were strong enough to resist the water pressure at the bottom of the river, this was the opponent's home court after all. Milo's choice Although it is a bit risky, in terms of self-sacrifice, he has definitely not reached that level yet.
It is worth mentioning that Milo's breath-holding ability has been significantly improved than before.
Of course, he had never been too bored to test his limit of breath-holding time before, but normal people's breath-holding time is about tens of seconds, and some people with extraordinary talents can hold their breath for several minutes. Milo was sure that he was definitely not the type of person with extraordinary talents.
Being able to hold his breath for a long time while carrying the water pressure while moving at the bottom of the river must be attributed to the few mouthfuls of blood that the Scarlet Witch gave back to Milo.
…
“Speaking of witches…”
Milo muttered in his heart.
Yes, didn’t the old witch want me to find the Holy Communion for her? She said that after finding the Holy Communion, she tried to find the power to fight against the hounds, although she didn’t know if it was true. However, offering the Holy Communion is always a means of self-enhancement, isn’t it?
Isn’t this indescribable thing in front of me the Holy Communion that the Scarlet Witch asked for?
The blood and flesh of the old gods.
Although this level of goods has absolutely nothing to do with the old gods, it is still a piece of aged flesh. It is no better than the one in the small town of Ikem who cannot withstand the rules of time. The guy who got into corruption is strong.
...
Suddenly, Milo caught a glimpse of a guy who looked a little different among the many servants of Glaaki.
No, I read it wrong. This guy has not been injected with venom yet. He is still in the stage of a dream inducer, but he is different from other dream inducers.
Because everyone else is immersed in their own dreams, accepting their fate with utmost calmness.
But this guy seemed to be possessed, struggling wildly.
It was as if the left and right legs were fighting with each other. On the one hand, I wanted to run over and receive the Lord's blessing, but on the other hand, I desperately wanted to escape back to the water.
This guy is Rick from the Chengnan Law Enforcement Station.
Rick, who works with corpses all day long.
Yan You mentioned this guy to Milo just now. Milo just didn't expect that this guy was still alive after being in the water for so long.
……
Rick struggled wildly, pulling back and forth between the bottom and the surface.
Every time he was about to hit Glaaki's thorns, his desire to survive would take over again, and he would flap his limbs at extremely fast speeds, getting out of the attack range of the thorns. Escape toward the water. But every time he was about to reach the riverside, he would sink to the bottom of the river uncontrollably.
This has been repeated many times, and he has not been exposed to fresh air for a long time.
Milo couldn't think of why this guy hadn't suffocated to death yet.
...
However, when this idea flashed through Milo's mind, he saw Rick spit out a big bubble from his mouth with a "Wow!", and then his eyes turned white, completely overwhelmed by the river water. Choked to death.
His body sank to the bottom of the river bed, and the thorns spreading from Glaki's body reached towards Rick's head.
…
“Crack!”
Just when the first thorn was about to penetrate Rick's head, the Bowie blade in Milo's hand cut off the thorn accurately.
Then, he grabbed Rick's back collar, pulled away at an extremely fast speed, and quickly floated to the water.
Eric and others are doing the same thing.
As long as the innocent people attracted by dreams have not been touched by the thorns, they are still normal people. There is no reason to watch them being turned into living corpses by Glaaki.
The attacks of the four Exiled Shadows were much more unscrupulous than Milo.
Because they don't need to worry about being hurt by thorns at all. Strictly speaking, they don't even exist in this real world, they just affect things in this world through the powerful medium of Milo.
After Milo threw Rick ashore, he shouted to Investigator C on the broken bridge:
"We will rescue the survivors, you are responsible for taking care of them!"< br>
On the broken bridge, C looked confused.
"You? You are not the only one..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw unconscious dream inducers being thrown to the shore one after another under the water. He couldn't even see clearly who threw them up.
However, the next second, the water in the entire canal trembled.
Investigator C, who was standing on the broken bridge, could clearly feel the low-frequency vibration transmitted to him by the lower bridge abutment.
He could even hear the angry roars of the underwater creatures.
“Oh no…”
C’s face changed drastically.
…
…
The bottom of the river bed.
This time, Glaki couldn't bear it anymore.
Its guidance ceremony has been interrupted, its promise to its family members has been destroyed, and now they dare to kidnap even the Dream Leader who is so close at hand?
Glaki has survived for countless years. Even during the years when it was imprisoned in the meteorite, it has never been treated so badly, and it has never been in such an angry mood.
In the vicissitudes and broken heart of this ancient man, a primitive desire called killing was awakened.
At this moment, it has forgotten all the fear given by the old gods. Its only thought is to crush and devour these despicable, hateful and lowly species, and let them become its own nourishment. Let this The river running for thousands of kilometers became its own kingdom.
……
Buzz! ! !
The entire ground in the southern part of Nanwei City trembled.
